I bought several of these frames and I had a lot of prints to frame and like d the clean lines, and low cost.
I really like the look of floating glass frames, and it provides more options for your photos or art.
The problem with these frames is that like many things made in China, they are cheap…at great cost.
The glass broke from the pressure of putting those little tabs that hold it together down, and (as someone who works with glass) I know that this type of break only occurs in glass which is not properly annealed.
What does this mean to you? It is DANGEROUS!!! A product like this should be made with either safety glass, hard glass (pyrex, borosilicate) or, at the very least, properly annealed soft glass (actually any & all of these glasses should be annealed to remove stress)…but, without getting too technical- all I can say is that the glass in this product is unsuitable for it’s purpose, and fundamentally unsafe.
